Image scaling disclosed herein comprises receiving an image from an image capturing device and partitioning an image into at least one image tile using a partitioning module. A determination is made if the image tile requires slow scan scaling and/or fast scan scaling. The image tile is subject to slow scan scaling. The image tile is then transposed, scaled in the fast scan direction, and then again transposed to an original orientation. The tile is reassembled into a scaled image and may be rendered by a rendering device.
